COULDN'T HEAR IT THUNDER.

An interesting letter from Mr.. John

From a feeling of gratitude and de-
slro to benefit others, [ voluntarily make
this statement. l have great reason TO he
thankful that | ever heard Of b. Il. g.,
as L know what blessing it has been to
me. L have suffered with Bronchial Ca
tarrh for number Of years. Six months
ago was taken with severe pain III
right ear, which in q fow days began to
discharge matter, with terrible and al
most unbearable palpitation and all sorts
OF noises in my head. In ten days after
the ccommcncemento of discharge and pain
III my ear [ began to grow deaf and in
six weeks / was so deaf that could not
hear thunder.
[ was then compelled to use conycrsa-
ton tube, and it was often that could
not hear with the tube. I then COM
menced taking b. b: Is. and the running
of my ear ceased running in five weeks,
and can now hear without the tube. Ny
general health has improved, palpitation
ceased, and feel like a new being, aud

Lee rs II Boy.

The following is q description of the
clay statue of General Lee rs O boy Of
Ia, which is being modelled in Italy and,
1t is hoped, will be erected in marble in
front of the house of Lees chilhood in
Westmoreland county, Va, on the site
OF the tombs of many of his followers
who fell in the war. The figure is ex-
ceedlngly characteristic and full Of life,
and the face rejuyenatcd by Mr.. Ezekiel
from his own bronze portrait of the
General in later life gives eloquently the
promise of what was to come s'The
boy is father to tire man" here in very
truth. The right hand, holding little,
simple cap, rests on the small stump OF
an oak tree, while the left, brought I'D
to about the lovel of the waist, clasps Il
Bible, with one finger between the
leaves. The youthful figure is slightly
turned from right to left, and the head
IS erect and thrown back little, as if to
catch the light breeze which blows apart
the fold of the boys simple blouse and
reveals in part the promise of strength
and compactness in the figure. Tho
small feet for which the Lee family arc
famous, are finely modelled, as also the
slim, boyish leg, i'll its neat stocking and
breeches buttoning below the knee. I
had, by a mere chance, an Interesting
opportunity of Judging the faithfulness
OF the likeness as mere likeness, if
hereditary resemblances are to count for
anything. While was examining the
figure i'll detail, there came into the
studio lady with three pretty daupb.
ters, who was introduced to me as Mrs.
Cooper, daughter of General Lees first
cousin. One of the young ladies, aged
about Is, bore SO striking O resemblance
to the boyish portrait of her illustrious
relative, as to make it certain even to n
strangers eye that they were of the same
stock; and, indeed, Mrs. Cooper (who is
usually called the ''nieco" of General
Lee, though really the cousin once re-
moved, and was on terms of the greatest
affection and confidence with him) de-
clared that any member of the family
must must be satisfied with the striking like
work. viz

The court appointed three prominent
lawyers to defend him.
With awkward gestures and uncouth
language he admitted stealing the boat,
but blamed Peter Cooper for it.
When the jury took the case he in-
sisted on retiring with them to explain
tho situation, but this the court heart
lessly denied.
After an hour OF wrestling with the
case, the jury, to the CONSERVATION OF
the court and audience, and the disgust
OF the prosecution, brought in verdict
of not guilty.

HURRIING TP LAMAR,
n Dakota Girl Who Wanted thc Strrc;ar,
to Decide Her "7Iu's Case"
lErom the Cincinnati Enquircr)

~ Dako'a Girl Who Wanted thC Secretary
to Decide Her "7In's Case"
tErom the Cincinnati Enquircr1
A little girl eight years old, residing
ut Gordon, Dakota, has written the fol-
lowing letter to Secretary Lamar. 1t
was printed on small piece of paper
with lead pencil, in style peculiar
only to children when they arc writing
their first letters. Every letter is a capi.
tai, and reads:
"MR LAN1ARs: Won't you please de-
eide tho land case that is in your Office
now. Ma has to work out, and Minnie
is sick, and L have to do tho work. I
am only eight years old. We hliu't no
money, and Lige Moon is trying TO get
our claim. ADA FRENCU.
MA wants to get some money so VIC
can buy some close and get horse. 1t
is awful cold here at Mitchell, Dakota.
and we have to burn hay, and can't
hardly keep warm. Goodby.
ADA FRENCH"
Gordon, Lakota.
The letter was referred to Commits
sloner Sparks, and went through tho
routine Of the land Office, and on official
letter was written to the girl Informing
her that the commissioner had decided
the claim in favor of her mother, but on
appeal had been made to the secretary
OF the interior, where it is now pending.
The little girl wrote another letter, simi-
lar to her previous one, begging the
commissioners ''to get Mr.. Lamars to
decide mas case. Lige Moon," sho says,
told ma that If you decided in mas
favor he would not give her any more
trouble, but Lige Moon lies."
This letter was also answered, and the
correspondence sent to the secretary to
hurry his action.

killing of Cattle Thieves.

DENvER, Colo, September 5.-Albu-
querque, n. NJ, September 5.-A des-
perate shooting affair occurred last
night at Holbrook, Apache County,
Arizona, in which Andy Cooper and a
half-brother named Samuel Blevins
we're killed by Sheriff Owens, and John
BIeyins and Nose B. Roberts wounded
the former slightly, the latter mort
ally. The killed and wounded have been
members of a desperate gang OF cattle
thieves, who have been a terror to the
Iaw-abiding citizens of Yavapai and
Apache Counties. They openly boosted
that the officers were afraid to arrest
them. They have lately been engaged
in cattle war at Tonto Basin, IN which
veney, of YaVapai County, &C
companied by Deputy Sherifs
Francis and 0'DelI, have been in
pursuit of this gang for several
weeks, but were unable to effect their
capture. On Monday last, Sheriff
Owens learned that the four men ht d
arrived in Holbrook, and were residing
in a small house near the railroad
track. Armed with a Winchester, the
officer started alone to arrest the
despersdoes. Arriving at the house, he
knocked, and upon the door being
opened by Andy Cooper, the officer in
formed him that he had warrant for
his arrest. The only reply was bullet,
which passed through the sheriff )
coat, fortunately not injuring him. The
fire was returned, and Cooper fell dead.
The shooting then became general.
Owens took position at the
window, shooting all three men inside
the house. Samuel Blevins, one of the
killed, is boy only IA years of age, but
fully as desperate as his older COM
panions. The coroner's Jury exonor-
ated Sheriff Owens, who has the SYM
pathy of the entire community.
